Speaker 1: What's up, guys. Welcome to The Granger Smith Podcast, Episode
Speaker 1: twenty six. How are you guys doing. Everyone staying good
Speaker 1: out there? Podcast world, YouTube World. You're staying safe. And
Speaker 1: when I say safe, I mean mentally safe. I think
Speaker 1: the threat of depression and anxiety is real, and I
Speaker 1: think it, in my non scientific opinion, it outweighs many
Speaker 1: other dangerous viruses in the world. Anxiety is a killer,
Speaker 1: and that is a fact, and so stay, you have
Speaker 1: to stay. Let me put it this way. There is
Speaker 1: a glass and it has liquid in it, and it
Speaker 1: is exactly even top to bottom. The liquid is right
Speaker 1: in the middle. And you know what I'm getting at.
Speaker 1: You could easily be a half full or an half
Speaker 1: empty guy, that both of you would be right. This
Speaker 1: is no one knows what the heck is going on
Speaker 1: out there right now, and so just choose to be
Speaker 1: half full or at least try to spread a little
Speaker 1: half fullness to your friends, especially on social media. Don't
Speaker 1: don't weaponize fear. I mean, that's a good way to
Speaker 1: say it. Don't don't weaponize fear. There's no reason to
Speaker 1: use fear for clickbait or for good conversation with your friends.
Speaker 1: We don't know. This whole thing might just go away
Speaker 1: in thirty days. It might be gone, it might not,
Speaker 1: It might be we might deal with this for years.
Speaker 1: But why scare people with that? All that being said,
Speaker 1: I'm not working, I'm not touring, But what I do
Speaker 1: have ISyE Apparel, and that has typically been the sponsor
Speaker 1: of all these podcasts and it's it's never been more
Speaker 1: important than right now. Ee Apparel is literally my touring company.
Speaker 1: Gee a peril is keeping the lights on in the
Speaker 1: touring company. It's allowing my band and crew to come in,
Speaker 1: keep their jobs and also make a little extra working
Speaker 1: shipping outyege Apparel. It's pretty cool and we're very blessed
Speaker 1: to have this other entity that allows the touring guys
Speaker 1: that are desperate for work to go and get a
Speaker 1: little get a few hours in. We have this Shirt
Speaker 1: of the Month t shirt subscription and it's a perfect
Speaker 1: way if you're wondering how to support my guys. This
Speaker 1: is very much a family run business. Go grab you
Speaker 1: a shirt of the month. Sign up for that. We
Speaker 1: have legitimately have really cool shirts. I'm wearing one of
Speaker 1: them for those of you that are watching this. I'm
Speaker 1: wearing I believe this is March, but I love these
Speaker 1: shirts and it's a really cool thing. You just sign
Speaker 1: up and then you're gonna get You're gonna get a
Speaker 1: shirt the first of every month in your mailbox. And
Speaker 1: we know the ups I mean, excuse me. We know
Speaker 1: that the whatever it's called, the mail, the National mail,
Speaker 1: what's it called. We know that that the USPS. We
Speaker 1: know USPS is going to run no matter what. So
Speaker 1: that being said, that is a sponsor of this podcast today,
Speaker 1: and this is gonna be a fun one. I have
Speaker 1: one of my favorite people in the world gonna come
Speaker 1: on the podcast today. He's also probably one of the
Speaker 1: most interesting people in my circles. And I'm I'm a musician,
Speaker 1: so I know some strange, interesting people. This guy's definitely
Speaker 1: strange and interesting, and part of that is his career
Speaker 1: path is very interesting. It's not your normal career path.
Speaker 1: Robert Turkla of Lunkers TV is who I am talking about,
Speaker 1: one of the biggest freshwater fishing channels on YouTube, very
Speaker 1: successful at what he does. He's come about it in
Speaker 1: a roundabout way, and I'm gonna get him on the
Speaker 1: phone right now, all right, I'm rolling Robert what's up.
Speaker 1: I'm here for you, Let's go on. Why don't always
Speaker 1: say I'm here for you? I don't know, because I'd
Speaker 1: like to be here for people. Because right now I'm
Speaker 1: stuck in my house standing at a flag. That's literally
Speaker 1: when I'm doing that now, I'm bunching my flag words. Okay,
Speaker 1: there's nothing else to do right now. I don't even
Speaker 1: know how to film a video right now. How are
Speaker 1: you filming videos right now? I don't know. I was
Speaker 1: thinking about making a series that just starts to say
Speaker 1: one and then goes on to day twenty eight. People
Speaker 1: would watch it. So are you going fishing? Still? No,
Speaker 1: I'm not. I've actually decided I'm not going to leave
Speaker 1: my house all because that's what they just put out right,
Speaker 1: twenty eight days are gonna stay here? Yeah, didn't governor
Speaker 1: ever put it out? Yeah. So you're up north North
Speaker 1: Texas and I'm down Central. We seem to be a
Speaker 1: little behind you, guys. Constantly, the Dallas Fort Worth therea
Speaker 1: is is doing things faster than Austin. Surprisingly, Actually, I
Speaker 1: know it's kind of random. You got a little bit
Speaker 1: more local down there. Yeah, so what are you gonna do?
Speaker 1: This is like primetime fishing and you're not doing it. No,
Speaker 1: it is prime time fish. When when I see the
Speaker 1: tree saw button, I know that the best is falling.
Speaker 1: And then now I'm literally stuck in my house. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm not imagine when this is all over,
Speaker 1: what's gonna what it's gonna be like, people are gonna
Speaker 1: be going crazy, They're gonna go I hope, I hope.
Speaker 1: I hope come near to month it's just all over
Speaker 1: with and this is just been joke. I know. Do
Speaker 1: you think I'll ever tour again? Ever? I think I'll
Speaker 1: ever tour again? I I don't know. I read the
Speaker 1: other day that I was talking about three concerts and
Speaker 1: stuff that may not happen all the way through. Uh fall. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm really hope you do, because I really want to
Speaker 1: hear those vocal cords. I really enjoy drinking beer just
Speaker 1: listening to you sing, so well, we could do that
Speaker 1: as long as we're practicing social distancing. We could, you know,
Speaker 1: like be six feet apart and I could still sing
Speaker 1: and you can drink beer. I know it's not as fun.
Speaker 1: I can get up there, and you know I can't.
Speaker 1: I won't be able to grab the thing, Mikey, I
Speaker 1: was watching I was watching those art today and you
Speaker 1: were doing, have you watched that yet? No? Watch, You're
Speaker 1: so lucky and you have three great dicasons to watch
Speaker 1: and uh be lucky you get to watch that, Okay. Man,
Speaker 1: I was thinking about it. This is what my mind
Speaker 1: was going. I was like, Man, all these people are
Speaker 1: in this big gathering at this on TV. I was like, well,
Speaker 1: are we ever going to do that again? Are people
Speaker 1: going to be so weird worried? And how are you
Speaker 1: gonna sing with a face mask off? Imagine how muscle
Speaker 1: battle sounds. I don't know. Oh man, you're uh you
Speaker 1: make good points. I mean I was telling my band yesterday.
Speaker 1: I was like, guys, I mean, don't get your hopes up.
Speaker 1: We used to think, we used to hope that we'd
Speaker 1: play in June. I have I have no idea now. Yeah. No,
Speaker 1: I don't think that's gonna happen. Yeah. So I'm just
Speaker 1: wanting the thing's so bad? Why are they still flying?
Speaker 1: I'm wondering the same thing. You could actually buy flights
Speaker 1: to Europe right now? Why is that? But that doesn't
Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense. Why would you still Why are
Speaker 1: they still flights on in. It's that bad and it
Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense. Do you do you have any
Speaker 1: old military connections that ever give you kind of insight
Speaker 1: on what's going on, or Pentagon people or something like that. No, no,
Speaker 1: not right now. Everybody's pretty much a lockdown. All who
Speaker 1: does in the military probably enjoyed themselves. They're getting paid
Speaker 1: no matter what because now they're just gonna sit home
Speaker 1: and they don't have to go into work and do
Speaker 1: all the dumb stuff all day. Are you still getting
Speaker 1: paid you too? On YouTube? Yeah, it's cut down a lot,
Speaker 1: like a lot. I hope it doesn't last for a
Speaker 1: couple of months. That would really suck. So why did
Speaker 1: you decide to do YouTube as a career? And like,
Speaker 1: what what point did you say, you know what, I'm
Speaker 1: going to do this and nothing else. I'm going to fish.
Speaker 1: Oh that actually sounds messing. I didn't really start like
Speaker 1: I was. I was selling cars. I figure out the
Speaker 1: longer and I was drinking way too much. And then
Speaker 1: I quit selling cars one day really randomly, like I
Speaker 1: was drinking way too much, Like my face was like
Speaker 1: red all times in a shash, and then I realized, Man,
Speaker 1: I can do YouTube. Videos because then it would make
Speaker 1: me stop drinking because then I can't get drunk on video.
Speaker 1: That's pretty much where it was. Come on that real stuff,
Speaker 1: true stuff. My buddy told me I should make YouTube videos,
Speaker 1: and so I started making us videos and then I,
Speaker 1: I don't know one in the fishing world. We're doing
Speaker 1: daily videos, and so I was like, you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm getting a shot, and I started doing daily videos.
Speaker 1: I get made fun of a bunch of the beginning,
Speaker 1: so like showing people how to make toast and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. What year was that, twenty fifteen? I think sixteen.
Speaker 1: But I made my channel was like five days. It
Speaker 1: was not a chee four days after she was born backwards, okay,
Speaker 1: and you told me that you you didn't even really
Speaker 1: know how to fish that well before you started the channel. No,
Speaker 1: I was terrible, and I was terrible. I had a
Speaker 1: no no, no, it was really bad. Didn't know what
Speaker 1: I was doing. I mean, I was just really fishing,
Speaker 1: just to fish. And then apparently people like to watch
Speaker 1: people that don't what to do it. So pretty much
Speaker 1: everything I've learned has been through day one and YouTube videos.
Speaker 1: Now that's probably why it's so popular, because no, one
Speaker 1: wants to see a know it all. Yeah, I'm definitely
Speaker 1: not gonna know it all even the other day. I mean,
Speaker 1: I know a bit more than I did five years ago.
Speaker 1: But because if you think about it, I would assume,
Speaker 1: on a serious note, in five years I probably finished
Speaker 1: over a foul sometimes yeah, over a fountain days in
Speaker 1: five years actually probably probably close to like eleven. It's
Speaker 1: that law of mastery or whatever. You've mastered fishing. You're
Speaker 1: You're the best fisherman I've ever been with in my life. Well,
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. That's I don't know how many people
Speaker 1: you fish, but I will take that. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: and the reason it's such a crazy question is because
Speaker 1: how many people would say, screw it, I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: quit my job and just fish on YouTube. I mean
Speaker 1: that that's like the ultimate man dream. But you actually
Speaker 1: did it, and then you were really successful with it.
Speaker 1: I got really lucky, to be honest. I just came
Speaker 1: in at the right time. I met the right people,
Speaker 1: me and the boys, and then we kind of just
Speaker 1: grew together really fast. I think I think we starting
Speaker 1: the whole daily thing got them kind of motivated. The
Speaker 1: chances that we had inverdeing their stuff, and then they
Speaker 1: kind of once everybody started doing stuff that wasn't so
Speaker 1: espishly the ditch market. But if you could make it
Speaker 1: to where everybody can be kind of relatable to it,
Speaker 1: like showing your daily life, then that's when the market
Speaker 1: took off. To be honest, that's actually what really started
Speaker 1: propelling is not is when, not really when I started
Speaker 1: doing it, but when everybody else started making daily videos
Speaker 1: as well, and then you were the one they found.
Speaker 1: So so when you well, I mean because you were
Speaker 1: doing it before them, obviously, yeah I was, but they
Speaker 1: had a little the other guys that was I messed with.
Speaker 1: All all the guys they had, they hadn't quite a
Speaker 1: bit head saw on me. So when you say the guys,
Speaker 1: you're talking about the Google guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: There was a couple of bigger YouTubers that were fishing
Speaker 1: at the time. But the thing is is, like when
Speaker 1: everything started changing, like the way that YouTube YouTube is
Speaker 1: like it's always changing. You have to evolve and you
Speaker 1: have to be like a chameleon on YouTube, Like you
Speaker 1: got to be able to mold and the surrouvings and
Speaker 1: some of the people that were big on YouTube. When
Speaker 1: it came to fishing, they could not adapt did. They
Speaker 1: kind of fell off, And that's kind of what happened.
Speaker 1: Happened over the years. That's why you see, like I
Speaker 1: saw doing so much fish and stuff, and I brought
Speaker 1: him hunting and I brought in dumb stuff. Now he's
Speaker 1: a Flair that has his own damn farm people. You
Speaker 1: can't just fish or you'll die. Yeah, So how did
Speaker 1: you guys get together? Originally they googen guys and then
Speaker 1: I sent how it all started? Was I sent back
Speaker 1: in the day, I sent a flare jon Apart. Y'all
Speaker 1: come in to each other a little bit before, and
Speaker 1: they kind of got a couple of collobs. But then
Speaker 1: I sent Flair a Twitter to him and on Twitter,
Speaker 1: I was my other account was verified, so he answered it.
Speaker 1: It's the means why he said he answers and that
Speaker 1: was verified and I wasn't a random person. And he
Speaker 1: flew down and he fished me for double edgys and
Speaker 1: me and him chatted and then we started getting all
Speaker 1: the guys together. And then we all started working in
Speaker 1: a little circle, and we didn't really work with anybody
Speaker 1: outside of us circle. It's pretty much how it all
Speaker 1: got started. So you started it. I wouldn't say I started.
Speaker 1: I like to say we started it as a group,
Speaker 1: because there's a group effort. That's crazy, man. I mean,
Speaker 1: I know I'm a country singer and that sounds cool,
Speaker 1: but fishing for a living, I mean that, that's seriously,
Speaker 1: that's like the man dream of America. Yeah, no, it
Speaker 1: is awesome. I'll never complain if everybody hears me complain
Speaker 1: about that. It's crazy. Yes, I like I like hone ELK,
Speaker 1: and I like business. I like business just as Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're really good at business. So what So that's that
Speaker 1: brings me to why did you You've made this decision
Speaker 1: a couple of times to stay with YouTube and not
Speaker 1: go pro. Yeah, but now you're kind of debating it again. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I go back and forward. I'll do it at some point.
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what I'm gonna do it, especially now,
Speaker 1: well I don't even know to be another, don't how
Speaker 1: to cancel a ton of ship. So uh, I'll do
Speaker 1: at some point, just because I need to check it
Speaker 1: off my list. I will. I'm gonna be there. I
Speaker 1: already told myself whenever I go to do it, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be like any winnings that really get obviously donated forturnity,
Speaker 1: because I won't be doing it for mot me and
Speaker 1: definitely I'll just be doing it just to basically win
Speaker 1: and kind of check that off my blocks and kind
Speaker 1: of go off. And that would build Lunkers TV. It
Speaker 1: build credibility more probably, Yeah, yeah, it'd be a little
Speaker 1: bit more validity up ebating. And we have a lot
Speaker 1: of people that talked. That's the funny thing about how
Speaker 1: it all started. A lot of people talk terrible about it,
Speaker 1: like the first I would say two and a half
Speaker 1: to three years of the entire thing, and then once
Speaker 1: we started really taking over all of the stuff, then
Speaker 1: they kind of stopped. So so this is basically the
Speaker 1: final now on the coffin in my eyes, yeah, that
Speaker 1: would be. And then you got into storage buying. How
Speaker 1: did that start? I actually had my original accounts on
Speaker 1: this blood trick on store Turger. I made it back
Speaker 1: to two I want to Dynasty. I made it because
Speaker 1: I was I was watching the show on TV and
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, I do that. It was like
Speaker 1: fun And I was sitting on the stairs store probably
Speaker 1: four months ago, and there hadn't been. A gentleman came
Speaker 1: and there was talking about it, and I overheard him
Speaker 1: talking about asked about it, and I kind of spurred
Speaker 1: my interest to do it. And being the you two roads,
Speaker 1: like I bought the first unit I found that had
Speaker 1: something cool and you I could see that there's a
Speaker 1: dirt bike in the back, and I'm like, I want
Speaker 1: that unit. So for those of you that don't know
Speaker 1: what he's talking about, he's you buy storage units, and
Speaker 1: I didn't know. I mean, I've seen I've seen the
Speaker 1: reality TV a little bit about it, but I didn't
Speaker 1: really know much about that business world that there's people
Speaker 1: that make a living buying abandoned, right, abandoned storage units
Speaker 1: that yeah, the reason was once that people haven't paid
Speaker 1: for or a person passes, or they go to jail
Speaker 1: for supremature. So then that the tenant, the owner of
Speaker 1: the of the facility, they just put him up for auction.
Speaker 1: They have like I think it's like a sixty day render.
Speaker 1: They have getted for a thirty day public notice out
Speaker 1: and you have the original tenant thirty days to day,
Speaker 1: and then they don't pay it. Then they just put
Speaker 1: them up watching and you get to see it before
Speaker 1: you buy it. Yeah, Aline, you get to see him
Speaker 1: for like I don't know, you get to see photos,
Speaker 1: but in person you have like fifteen seconds and twenty
Speaker 1: seconds or so, whoa twenty seconds? Yes quick, you look
Speaker 1: at what you're looking in there and and over over
Speaker 1: the time, I've linkedup with a guy and that's really
Speaker 1: even with like twenty years. So it's kind of made
Speaker 1: it really easy for me to pinpoint. That's what I
Speaker 1: was able to pick up that fraudulent a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Dude, Okay, so that was that is crazy.
Speaker 1: So you got this channel Lunkers TV. You know, it's
Speaker 1: about fishing and hunting, but one the one of the
Speaker 1: amazing videos has nothing to do with either one of
Speaker 1: those things. It's you catching this lady and fraud. I
Speaker 1: watched the whole thing. It was good. It was good television,
Speaker 1: Like it was really it's really good. Like I was
Speaker 1: just like, I can't put my phone down watching this episode.
Speaker 1: So they staged the unit. You said that, you said
Speaker 1: you get to see a unit for fifteen to twenty seconds,
Speaker 1: and then these people staged the unit to make it
Speaker 1: look like it was really valuable when in reality, it
Speaker 1: was just like a few decent things in the front
Speaker 1: and then junk in the back that was in really
Speaker 1: nice boxes. Yeah, exactly. So livings were bought on lines.
Speaker 1: I bought one of December and I got it, just
Speaker 1: went back all the way back to December and we
Speaker 1: bought one of the seat prior online from the same complex.
Speaker 1: Didn't even realized that. I was sitting there drinking whiskey
Speaker 1: one night, just scrolling through them, just some pretty much
Speaker 1: what I do of and I just to see what's
Speaker 1: going on. And I found it. It It looked good and
Speaker 1: I put on it and I noticed, man, this was
Speaker 1: good looking. And I was the third complex where it was,
Speaker 1: and then I was like, holy shit, this is all
Speaker 1: the tame. And I go back to the previous two
Speaker 1: that we had bought and we lost that song. I
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, they're staged. And then that's
Speaker 1: when we opened it up, and I knew that's why
Speaker 1: I went in there knowing what it was. But I
Speaker 1: was kind of like hoping that I was wrong. But
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't know this. I've actually talked
Speaker 1: to the owner of that lady was fired, she lost
Speaker 1: her job, and I'm actually gonna be working with Storage
Speaker 1: Treasures here in for all this stuff done to help
Speaker 1: them fight the whole podulent stuff. I'm gonna actually do
Speaker 1: an entire serial on how to find it deside it
Speaker 1: so people stop it. So that's a big thing. How
Speaker 1: of that fraud? That's huge? Yeah? God, So what ended
Speaker 1: up happening with that for that instance? Did you lose
Speaker 1: money or did you get it back? No? I know what.
Speaker 1: I got my money back instant like serious wly gave
Speaker 1: me the cause I told myself going in there, I
Speaker 1: didn't care if he was going to cost some five
Speaker 1: grand to buy it. I was going to overpay just
Speaker 1: to prove a point. So I knew have to give
Speaker 1: my money back. And that's what I had. I overpaid
Speaker 1: for that. You know, I paid seventeen hundred and fifteen.
Speaker 1: She gave it back instantly, and say also repaid grounds
Speaker 1: to the week prior the owner did. So it was interesting.
Speaker 1: I promise you will find more. I find the one
Speaker 1: hundred percent. We find them all the time. They haven't
Speaker 1: been in New York. I bought that storage com the
Speaker 1: Storage Union one or the Storage the Comic one. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: So do you have to be a member of some
Speaker 1: website that you get the CDs for sale storage units. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's you don't have to be a member
Speaker 1: on them, but you get ten percent off of your
Speaker 1: members by units in bulk. You definitely want to be
Speaker 1: a members. He saves a lot. Yeah, and with this
Speaker 1: crazy virus thing, no one wants to be going through
Speaker 1: storage units right now probably huh yeah, No, it'll in
Speaker 1: two months, so whenever it's over with, there'll be a
Speaker 1: giant mess of them. There's a lot of money to
Speaker 1: be made in so and a lot if you buy
Speaker 1: it correctly, you can make a lot of money. But
Speaker 1: that's like one of America's secret talents is putting all
Speaker 1: their junk in storage units and forgetting about it. You
Speaker 1: should see did you should see some little stuff from sound?
Speaker 1: There was one in Atlanta. I want to have a
Speaker 1: bought the comic unit that had six guns in it
Speaker 1: in Atlanta and it was going for this at the
Speaker 1: time for thirteen grand. And the only reason why I
Speaker 1: didn't buy this because I've just spent thirteen grand on
Speaker 1: the melon. They had six well six gun stakes. It
Speaker 1: was like, so I told you that some of the
Speaker 1: people they go to jail and stuff like that that
Speaker 1: they die and people forget about their that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: The unit. When we when we what we call like
Speaker 1: like gauging the unit, like we kind of can tell
Speaker 1: the story, what's what's going on there. It had so
Speaker 1: much expensive furniture, had all this expensive stuff in it.
Speaker 1: So the guy was probably in jail for a white
Speaker 1: collar time and no one can get his stuff out.
Speaker 1: That's the only thing we can come up with. Everything
Speaker 1: inside it is so extensive, But that's what's kind of
Speaker 1: fun about it. Yeah, it's in a little treasure chest.
Speaker 1: You never noticed that. I'm in. My whole plan with
Speaker 1: that one was to load upaul the safe a U
Speaker 1: haul truck and drive them back to Texas. So because
Speaker 1: if I would have opened them inside of Georgia and
Speaker 1: it would have been like a suppressor or something inside
Speaker 1: the safe, so they would have been a federal offensive
Speaker 1: transfer across state line right when the transmitting back to
Speaker 1: Texas and opened it there and then I'm in Texas,
Speaker 1: so I would have never known what was inside the stafe. Okay,
Speaker 1: so what was in it? I know I didn't buy
Speaker 1: the Unix. Oh you didn't buy it. No, not that one.
Speaker 1: All the safes that I found before. I always had drugs,
Speaker 1: buildos and in a safe, in a safe, I've got
Speaker 1: a gun safe. Yeah, dude, you find there's so much weird.
Speaker 1: It's always like I promise you not even in time,
Speaker 1: you're gonna find you in a safe. Almost every time, actually,
Speaker 1: every time I've actually had a safe, there's been drugs
Speaker 1: in a matter so far from like needles and uh,
Speaker 1: what's that stuff? People use juice to get big steroids.
Speaker 1: One one you got that. You had a bunch of
Speaker 1: steroids and needles, always killed and weed and bought everything
Speaker 1: it can think of the use. Oh my gosh, dude,
Speaker 1: So how do you even First of all, how do
Speaker 1: you even open a safe? Where do you go about
Speaker 1: doing that? Oh? You probably you have sal much strong
Speaker 1: any way you can think of. You open them up.
Speaker 1: We pushed them off the top of the buildings. We've got, dude.
Speaker 1: And the thing is you can call it. If it
Speaker 1: gets a nice day, then we'll probably call a locksmith
Speaker 1: to pick it and then open it. But I haven't
Speaker 1: found the safe it's worthy of that yet. All the
Speaker 1: ones I'm finding are like one hundred dollars staves maybe right,
Speaker 1: maybe max two hundred dollars stays. If that's not it's
Speaker 1: not a big deal. But when we find those, you know,
Speaker 1: those really nice ones. I was like that one in Georgia,
Speaker 1: all six of those days, they would have had a
Speaker 1: locksmith bad in them all because they were all really expensive,
Speaker 1: like thousands of two thousand dollars states. Okay, so so
Speaker 1: then where where do you that seems really annoying to
Speaker 1: have to sell all this stuff that you get. Where
Speaker 1: do you do that? I don't have to do it.
Speaker 1: I got so they got to work with the on
Speaker 1: of one of the larger auction businesses in Dallas. So
Speaker 1: then Grimes and all I have to do is tell
Speaker 1: him I got a unit. He comes out with me,
Speaker 1: he sends his employees out. We do the but they
Speaker 1: take all the trash, they take all the photos, they
Speaker 1: do everything, all the inventory, they sell it, the ship it,
Speaker 1: they do all this stuff. So basically all I'm doing
Speaker 1: is front asked to buy the units and and doing videos. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you probably make more on the YouTube videos anyway. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the YouTube videos is mainly what I care about is
Speaker 1: I'm a content creator. But if I can at least
Speaker 1: break even on the units, that's the goal. But The
Speaker 1: thing is, all the units so far I probably make.
Speaker 1: I'm probably almost double the money on every unit, at
Speaker 1: least triple all the money I put into it. That's
Speaker 1: good business. Yeah, but I'm telling you it's not as
Speaker 1: easy as I make a team. I just feel lucky
Speaker 1: and linked up with the white person. Oh, I know
Speaker 1: it's not. I sure wouldn't do it. There's no way
Speaker 1: I would do I would do that. It's legal gambling,
Speaker 1: you know, in Texas we can't gamble like this and
Speaker 1: and that kind of stuff. I just spend one thousand
Speaker 1: bucks a chance. It makes four I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 1: I guess you're right, makes sense. It's it scratches that
Speaker 1: itch if you're a gambler, for sure, cutches my ch.
Speaker 1: I've got some isches that I found that you can discussed.
Speaker 1: Are you still standing out there by your flag? I
Speaker 1: am yeah, I'm alwadys standing on my wind. I'm just
Speaker 1: walking back and forth around, just looking out that so
Speaker 1: may not what else to do? You know? I thought
Speaker 1: about just going out and like, how am I going
Speaker 1: to film a video today? Well? I thought after my
Speaker 1: second episode of those ark this morning, after drinking a
Speaker 1: couple of cup of coffee. I was like, man, what
Speaker 1: am I gonna do? I thought, you know what, let's
Speaker 1: go drive the car about four feet, turn it on
Speaker 1: and take the top off and just sit in it.
Speaker 1: And I was like, that's not a video. But well,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. I had the same thought this
Speaker 1: morning over my coffee, and I thought, what am I
Speaker 1: going to do today? Oh, I'll just call Rob and
Speaker 1: get him on video, just talking about random stuff. Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm here for you. But so you provided my
Speaker 1: content today I could and I got to tell you
Speaker 1: stuff that I hope it gets you excited. You know

Speaker 1: sure everybody knows a guy like this where he just
Speaker 1: always has a story and it's going to be one
Speaker 1: of the stranger stories you've ever heard in your life,
Speaker 1: Like going to Georgia and finding six safes and figuring
Speaker 1: out how he can bring them back in a U
Speaker 1: haul so that he can legally get arms across the border.
Speaker 1: And that's just a day for him. Right now, he's

Speaker 1: I go to bed, I'm trying to wake up at
Speaker 1: the same time to try to just keep some Like
Speaker 1: when the world is out of control, I try to
Speaker 1: put any touch of control I can on it, and
Speaker 1: anything I can control, I go all out. So my watch,
Speaker 1: for instance, wakes me up, and I've been I don't
Speaker 1: touch it. That alarm goes off at the same time
